Not a good day :(

Hi everyone.

Had another 2 consultations today and they have left me feeling more deflated (excuse the pun) than what I was already.

Firstly, a surgeon recommends I need the full tummy tuck and not the modified :( and secondly he will not peform both the tummy tuck op at the same time as the uplift with implants Not a good day :( 304294

. He did explain that both ops would take around 5 hours and in his opinion this is too long under GA and the risks are too high!?!

So its seems I may have to have two separate ops...With this will come two lots of recovery, 2 lots of time off work, 2 separate occassions I'll need help with the 3 kids and also 2 lots of far toooo long away from the gym, I really dont think I can cope with two operations :(

Ok, now just had a call back from 2 consult and they too will not do both ops together, is this an omen???

Hi hun,
I would say keep looking about although i didn't have a uplift i did have a full TT, muscle repair, lipo and ba all done at the same time.
Really hope you get what you want, all surgeons are different and have different rules. xx

Aw hun, I can understand you would rather get it all over with and out of the way and coping with the recovery, time off work etc. They are 2 very major operations and although it is annoying it may be safer to your health, 5 hours or more is a long time to be sedated and maybe worse to recover from, plus most surgeons will wait 6 months between GA's as it is safer to your health. It's very good they are considering the health implications rather than just taking your money.

I would have to agree with misf1, it's great to hear that your surgeons are worried about possiblt complications rather than just take the £7k and do it anyway!

It can't hurt to have as many consults as you can though lovely. If most of them come back saying the same thing then I would def go with their reccommendation of waiting between surgeries.
